Hi all,

We have a PC that has three user account with no password for any of them.

Yesterday, one of the users was on with no problem and powered down the pc.
When she powered the pc back on, here name and icon was gone from the start
screen and after further checking, here document folder was also gone. I
rebooted into safe mode and went in as the administrator and found no trace
of her documents.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Who could have had access..? Anything could happen if you don't have at
least basic protection against someone walking past. Given physical access
and enough time, access is always possible, but don't make it easy for
them..!

Someone deleted her account and files. Using passwords is a really good
idea. Anyhow see the link below on some free/shareware programs that you can
use to try and recover deleted files that you may have good success with
patricianly if the hard drive has a lot of free space. When files are
deleted the operating system will no longer display then but they still
exist on the drive until they are overwritten.
